If you're a single mom with student loans, a car payment, and living paycheck-to-paycheck, then $20,000 would be devastating and a reserve is critical.

Freddie Mac only offers financing for single properties they do not offer 'Portfolio loans" meaning bundle them all into one loan.

Since the funds are business credit, you wouldn’t have to worry about personal financial strain, and it allows you to keep your capital intact.I’ve seen investors use this method in various ways: some use business credit cards (with 0% APR for 12 months) to pay for renovations or bridge loans, others use business lines of credit to cover larger gaps.

That is a common arrangement as well, that can be done after the loan has closed, too. 

Also seems like a lot of MF sells occupied with tenants in place so you just have to comfortable with that and contracting up from and seeing inside after contracting.    1st step is to find a great lender and get pre-approved for a loan so you know what your budget is. 

Someone else just told me a similar thing, to make sure that loans can be secured for the property. 

I am responding as a consumer not a STR owner we had one its lasted for us for exactly one tenant then we felt it was too much work for the return  on investment we do much better loaning money and buidling new homes than to worry about people goofing up our homes :)I do have some MTR you know fully furnished homes in Vegas and those are money makers for us top of the line tneants paying double the going rate for rent.

There is so much that goes into a successful STR beyond the very basics.Now, projections can help for people using a DSCR loan.

This is the structure we were looking at which is more of a subsidiary structure and this applies to raw land development: 📌 Structuring Plan1️⃣ Set up a QOF to raise capital from investors.2️⃣ Create a QOZB to handle hotel & parking development (each separate land parcels).3️⃣ QOF owns the land & funds QOZB for development.4️⃣ Raise capital through QOF equity, bank loans, or JV partners.5️⃣ Develop the projects & operate for 10+ years for tax-free gains.

😎Not that this small motel needs financing hopefully, but what would a loan look like on a heavier deal I wonder?
